… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …

Aceh Reports Fewer Abuse Cases by Islamic Police in 2013

Banda Aceh. A rights group on Sunday reported a significant drop in the number of abuse-of-power cases in 2013 involving religious police officers enforcing shariah-inspired bylaws in Aceh.

The Aceh office of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) said there were only five cases involving members of Aceh’s shariah police last year, compared with 50 cases in 2012 and 47 cases in 2011.

“Members of the Wilayatul Hisbah (Wi-Ha), or shariah police, engaged in raids to apprehend violators of Islamic shariah, but those [raids] didn’t trigger as many cases of violence as in the previous years,” Destika Gilang Lestari, the coordinator of Kontras Aceh, said on Sunday.

“This is probably because of an improvement on the side of [Wi-Ha] members in performing their duties safeguarding Islamic shariah bylaws in Aceh.”

Aceh is the only province in Indonesia adopting some shariah-inspired bylaws, which are principally concerned with acts such as gambling, consumption of alcohol and extra- or non-marital relationships.

“There were actually 47 [potential] cases monitored in 2013, but only five cases were eventually classified as violent…” Destika said.

The five cases, Destika said, included three assaults on people alleged to have been found in violation of the religious laws.

In the fourth case, a person was paraded around their village after they were allegedly found to have engaged in non-marital sex. In the fifth, effluence was thrown at a person for the same offense.

Last year saw an “interesting trend”, Destika said, as many people demonstrated a lack of respect for the authority of the Wi-Ha.

“They fought back by throwing stones and the attack on the Wi-Ha office in Langsa, for example,” Destika said.

An incident in Langsa made headlines last month when several young people descended on the local Wi-Ha office to free four of their peers who were earlier taken into custody after being arrested at a music event.
